Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

As the president of "News Daily", Arisawa Asai has been struggling to support the operation of this newspaper all these years, but it is a pity that as the newspapers of Neon become more and more popular, small and medium newspapers simply cannot compete with those few. Large newspapers, and with it the shrinking circulation of the Newsday.

Although Arizawa Asai wanted to continue to support the publication of "News Daily", some things can't be done only by thinking, but by strength.

"News Daily" has a total of 37 employees from top to bottom, and there are 50 employees stationed in the Osaka branch, adding up to nearly [-] people.

Among these people, there are twelve managers, and the rest are editors, reporters and other staff.

Every month, the salary alone is as high as tens of millions of yen, and the salary and benefits combined will cost at least several hundred million yen a year.

In the past, these were not a problem when the daily sales of "News Daily" were good, but once the daily sales of the newspaper shrank, let alone benefits, even salary payment would become a problem.

This does not mention the rent of the office, the expenses of utilities, commuting, etc., which add up to a lot of money.

Under such circumstances, the reduction of expenditure will definitely start with some daily basic consumption, such as water, electricity and commuting, which have decreased year by year.

But in this method of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, open source is the most important means, and reducing expenditure will not be of much help to "News Daily".

So when Asai Arisawa received the intention of "Readers Times" to acquire "News Daily", his first reaction was that he didn't want to sell, but he calmed down soon, and then told the other party that he was willing to talk.

In fact, the current situation of "News Daily" is obvious to all. This is not a question of whether Arisawa Asai is willing or not, or whether he can persist, but that it is impossible for him to refuse the acquisition of "Readers Times".

Because if he rejects the acquisition proposed by Lin Daoqiu, there will be no loss for Lin Daoqiu, because "News Daily" is not an influential newspaper in Neon, at best it is only a medium-sized newspaper with a certain Readers of all sizes, but how big the influence is is probably a matter of opinion.

For the first meeting, Lin Daoqiu chose a beautiful resort golf course.

Perhaps it was the social etiquette learned from North America. Lin Daoqiu felt that the people on Neon's side admired North America so much. If he used the North American way to deal with them, these people should be very happy.

In fact, Asai Arisawa is also a person who likes to play golf for socializing. For Lin Daoqiu's invitation, Asai Arisawa is naturally very happy. After all, this is a sport he is good at and likes.

Few people know about the meeting between Lin Daoqiu and Arisawa Asai this time, and even if someone knows, it will not cause any big disturbances. Perhaps many people can guess what the two will talk about when they play together, but here In such an open environment, no one should think that they will talk about something very confidential, right?

"Mr. Asai, this is Mr. Lin Daoqiulin, the president of Readers Times."

After Asai Arizawa arrived at the golf course, he was immediately brought in front of Lin Daoqiu.

Arisawa Asai, who was already in his fifties with gray hair, looked at Lin Daoqiu who seemed to be only in his twenties, and he was completely stunned for a moment.

Even if he had heard of Lin Daoqiu before and knew his outstanding deeds in the neon film market, it was the first time he stood face to face with the other party and looked at him like this. I was shocked.

At his age, he was still an associate editor in "News Daily", but Lin Daoqiu had already become an internationally renowned film and media tycoon at this age, and he was really incomparable.

"Hi Mr. Lin, I'm Arisawa Asai, nice to meet you, please take care of me when we meet for the first time."

Asai Arizawa stretched out his hand to Lin Daoqiu, and then the two shook hands.

"Mr. Asai, you're being polite. I think that if we say who should take care of whom, it should be you who take care of me. You have run "News Daily" for many years and have a pivotal position in the neon newspaper industry. There is still a lot to learn from you in this regard.”

Lin Daoqiu's words are very nice. He raised Arisawa Asai's status to the big man in the neon newspaper right from the beginning. It sounds good, and Arisawa Asai is also very happy to be praised by Lin Daoqiu, but What is the truth? I believe that Arisawa Asai should know it well.

If he was really an important figure in Neon's newspaper business, he would not have thought of selling "Newsday", because it would be difficult for him to continue to support the operation of this newspaper.

But since Lin Daoqiu praised Arisawa Asai in this way, Arisawa Asai had to be complimented politely.

"Mr. Lin is really too award-winning. "News Daily" owes its current status to the hard work of colleagues in the newspaper office. I didn't do anything, but I have heard a lot about Mr. Lin's deeds before. In this comparison, sir, I am nothing at all, and I really envy you when I say it."

What Asai Arisawa said was all the truth, because in his opinion, so far, no one in the Neon film circle has been able to achieve or come close to Lin Daoqiu's achievements at this age.

Even Arisawa Asai felt that no one would be able to achieve Lin Daoqiu's current achievements and status in the future, because this is a feat that has never been done before or since.

Just one "Godzilla" is enough to make Lin Daoqiu famous in the history of neon movies for future generations to worship. If Lin Daoqiu is a Neon man, then he will definitely be known as a Neon There is no doubt that he is the father of special effects movies, but unfortunately he is not.

"All walks of life have their own outstanding talents. In fact, there is no need for everyone to compare with each other. One of the purposes of my visit to Nihong this time is to open a branch of "Readers Times". Now my goal has been achieved. Half, now the other half is to get Reader Times to gain a foothold in Neon..."

"Mr. Asai, you are an old-timer in the newspaper industry, and "News Daily" is also a very influential newspaper in Neon. If possible, I hope you can come and help me. I don't know what you want?"

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Arisawa Asai froze in place. Didn't Lin Daoqiu come to talk to him about the acquisition of "News Daily" today? Why did he suddenly want to recruit himself?What the hell is this all about?
